Shoes! Fab idea!! 35 for me, wont they work it out when we start shaking bottles of Perrier all over each other instead if champagne?? Not that I give a monkeys!
Briar, welcome to the best thread on SR imnsho As thread secretary, I take my position seriously and if you refer back to page 20 you will see the minutes I took from our previous meeting. I would appreciate some more intelligent input, to be frank I am surrounded by half wits here who can't ever write neatly!
Phebe, I guess what you put matter of factly was news to us, and as we have the emotional capacity to understand a little of what you must have gone through, it looks like we all had the same reactions and hearts went out to you. We cannot protect those we care about from the trials of life, but we can be there to help them up, hold them close until they can stand on their own two feet again, and watch hopefully as they move forward on their journey through life. You are wise beyond your years, as you have self awareness, and I know you will move forward with hope and strength.
Saskia, you put it beautifully in your post.
SJD 30 days, one month, WOW! Yay! And the perfect motto to move forward.
Marcher13, no, you ARE just wierd!! Hahaha as shoes sai, maybe all the longhand practice is working, or your motor whatsits (technical term probably above most of your heads) have improved. For me, I always thought I was clumsy coz I was always drunk or hung over, but no, I really can trip over my own shadow!!
Mesoso, ok you get to be Keeper Of The Handbags; all handbag related questions to be referred to you from now on. We expect photos.
Raggedly, I would never have had you down as a sci if geek, what with the Tardis as your avatar and all!!
BuddinK heading towards 40!!
Geek good advice for all of us there, sometimes our focus is so much on how to best stay sober, we don't look beyond that day. We need to remember we have the rest of our lives to live too! And what a wonderful man that guy with the flowers/herbs was!
JC you look after day 20, I want to see those three bananas from Shoes tomorrow!!
Snaggle, have you got a pen that would help Shoes write those magic numbers? Keeper Of The Pens you are, and a Mont Blanc for you out of my winnings.
AofS dare I say that perhaps you are feeling crap because you know you cannot consider yourself clean while still smoking dope? I say that as a total doper in my time. I feel personally that If I smoked instead of drinking, I would still be getting that away feeling I got from booze. That would keep the AV very alive for me, as the nice feeling is the only thing I miss and the one thing I would like to have again. If I am wrong ignore me, and good luck with the nurse.
